Kris Emery is a non-fiction editor for entrepreneurs, writers and speakers who are self-publishing for the first time. With 12+ years of working with words and a masters degree in linguistics and language analysis, Kris helps her clients write something they can be proud to put out there.
After writing and editing corporate communications, websites and self-published books for blue chips to bestsellers, it’s still Kris' favourite part of the project when my clients see their edits and say, “It sounds just like me, only better.”
Well, we started off on a riff about bending to others needs and the burnout that (almost always) follows, and ended up deep diving into all sorts around voice and vulnerability, including:
- How when Kris turned 40 she had a line in the sand moment of realisation that she had been keeping small, and not speaking up, and the deep grief that has emerged from feeling like she has wasted so much time not using her voice
- The distinction between finding your voice and finding it and learning to honour it, and how setting and keeping relationship boundaries has been a big part of Kris' journey since
- The beautiful flip side of intimacy which has developed as a result in her relationships and feeling far more connected to her loved ones than she has felt in her whole adult life
- The big leap that saw Kris write and publish her own book a year ago on her tenth business anniversary, and how the writing created a clarity of voice and boundaries that has rippled through all areas of life
- Lessons from exploring vulnerability and voice inside of pre-marital counselling with her then fiancée now husband, and how this shared dedication to honouring their voices inside of their relationship has helped them to become more aware of their own unhelpful patterns
- Finding your voice in business, and how Kris (like me) is allergic to creating content "on demand" and how she using her heart to inspire sharing helpful resources through a well of generosity, rather than expecting her muse to show up on schedule
- Getting caught up in the busy, busy and how this keeps us from taking the pause between stimulus and reaction, and how simply taking a breath has been a pivotal point of growth for Kris
